Default Re: Can inbound links really hurt you?

  1. Do you see an argument for paid links not passing pagerank?
  2. Do you see an argument for links from social networks getting reduced pagerank passing power?
  3. Do you think a computer program (bot) can identify patterns related to 1 and 2 and neutralize the effect?

Do you build that statment on old statements by Matt Cutts or Google resource pages?

Marketing is a type of drama.

My experience goes back to the date of the punched cards (FORTRAN programs). Microsoft is the computer company that IMO has understood offline marketing and branding best. They love to get focus around their new technologies. Is there any difference with the best online marketing and branding company, Google?

Nofollow on OBL's (IBL's to another site) give an exact solution. Pattern reckognition algorithms give an approximate solution. If you prefer an exact solution, put nofollow on links that shall not pass pagerank.

That will make the world more perfect.
